- Heat the Pan
Use a wok or large skillet. Preheat until very hot before adding oil for a quick, even sear. - Cook the Beef
Place marinated beef in a single layer. Sear briefly, stirring occasionally. Remove when browned but slightly undercooked to prevent toughness. - Stir-Fry Vegetables
Add onions and peppers. Cook just until fragrant and slightly tender while maintaining a crisp texture. - Combine & Sauce
Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss quickly. The sauce should thicken, evenly coating all ingredients. Finish with a generous dusting of black pepper.
Balancing Flavors & Texture
- Beef should stay tender, vegetables crisp, and sauce savory with a hint of sweetness.
- If sauce is too strong, add a splash of water or broth.
- For more depth, boost with soy sauce or oyster sauce.
